EBMT 2026 | The changing role of HLA matching in 2026

In this video, Roberto Crocchiolo, MD, PhD, Niguarda Metropolitan Hospital, Milan, Italy, briefly discusses the evolving role of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching in allogeneic stem cell transplantation, highlighting that new approaches to graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis are impacting the need for optimal HLA matching. This interview took place at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the EBMT in Madrid, Spain.

In 2016 the situation is very changing, rapidly changing because of the use, the increasingly use of different new approaches for GVHD prophylaxis. So the HLA matching is changing now and it’s important for all the healthcare professional workers in HLA labs to go on contributing, giving them knowledge that is important to do the optimal match, the still optimal match between patient and donor in this rapidly changing landscape...

In 2016 the situation is very changing, rapidly changing because of the use, the increasingly use of different new approaches for GVHD prophylaxis. So the HLA matching is changing now and it’s important for all the healthcare professional workers in HLA labs to go on contributing, giving them knowledge that is important to do the optimal match, the still optimal match between patient and donor in this rapidly changing landscape. The optimal match depends on the donor source and the GVHD prophylaxis and other conditions, different characteristics, patient and disease characteristics. So it’s important that HLA scientists go on working in supporting transplants to give the best, the better patient outcome.
